Jared, in high school, I only knew you from afar and I only recently became aware of the situation that caused you to spend your adult life as an innocent man in a cage. But they could only hold your body, they could never hold your soul. To hear that you found the Lord inside a dark and dirty cell proves God has no limits and we can all learn from you. I am saddened that your earthy innocence wasn't proven before your passing, but in Christ you are FREE. Rest in Peace and Love Jared. Always and forever. 

Jared was a good man. In my opinion and innocent man. Even in his time of trouble when my brother died he called and made sure he helped me to feel better. I will never forget how he made sure I was okay even when he was in the depth of his own hell in prison. Rest in peace Jared you deserve it. God bless his family and I am praying for you. 

This is one of the last things Jared shared with me.
The only thing worse than being talked about 😀 is not being talked about.🙏🏼
Rest In Peace forever 

The first thing I think about when someone mentioned Jared's name, is his smile and crazy laugh. We were friends back in the day. Fond memories of hurricane creek and being teenagers.  When he left West End, I didn't see him much,  but kept up with him through the grapevine.  I never thought he committed the crime that put him where he was. But there was a lot he did do. I don't know why he chose to write me from jail. We exchanged many letters. But when he got a phone,  he started calling.  Jared knew the Bible well. We talked about several books he read and I read the books he suggested.  He prayed for me and I prayed for him.  He helped me become a better Christian.  I'm going to miss our conversations. 

Jared and I were quite the Helions back in the day. I honestly can't believe what a fate he met as I would hear all the tales second hand through Elmore since I left in 1985. Jeff was the only person I know who remained in touch with him through that whole time.

Jared had a lot of charisma and roguish charm and i was simply pliable material in his hands.  We had some great times together stealing three wheelers, whiskey, cars and later,  girls from each other.

I wish id had a chance to say goodbye buddy. Farewell, until we meet again.

Jared and I became friends in the 7th grade  when we lived in the same subdivision.  I didn't see him again until he started going to Hillcrest in the 11th grade when we became good friends. Jared had the unique ability to make you to have fun no matter where you were. I will always remember all the crazy times. RIP ol friend. 

My deepest condolences to Jared's family and friends. I loved him dearly and enjoyed the texts and calls over the years. I am glad that he is finally FREE.

The memories of you and your family from highland oaks drive. You and my brother sonny would run around with Kenneth Obryant.  Sorry for the loss to the family. May you rest innocence now.

I was sorry to hear of Jared's passing. We were friends when we were boys and I stayed in touch with him until recently. My prayers are with his friends and family. 
Freedom!

Very sorry for your loss. Jared came to West End Christian in 1983 (I think) and was an outstanding football player. We became friends and I always had a fun times with him. I was very sad when he started hanging with the wrong people and got himself in trouble.  He was always a fun person to be around and tried to make the best of any situation. RIP my friend.

My sincere condolences,

Kuhn Beast
